Howdy folks! It's been a while since I've posted art here. I've got a TON of new stuff, but I'll be sharing a series I've been working on. The basis of the series is to paint pokemon to actually look like monsters. I make my own realistic take on them, with a concept art flavor. I don't take requests for these, I really don't decide which pokemon I'm doing until I open a new canvas. Well anyways, here they are. Ken Sugimori's design, followed by my own:

Unrelated to the series, but still a pokemon piece, is a piece I entered (I won) in a contest by Itsbirdy (from YouTube and instagram) where you had to color in his line art. Of course, I wouldn't be content with just doing that, so I turned it into my own piece and used his lineart as a character placement guide. It's alice in wonderland mixed with pokemon. Here's my winning entry:
